Top 4 Ice Machine Rental in Los Angeles, CA

Commerce's Ice Machine Sales & Service Co. sells, rents and services commercial ice machines. The company focuses on ice, not on a wide variety of equipment. They sell Ice-O-Matic, Manitowoc, Scotsman and Hoshizaki machines by type, from small 50 pound undercounter machines to modular heads that produce up to 2,000 pounds of ice per day. This is the largest range we found in the metro. The rental covers maintenance and repairs inside a fixed monthly payment, and there is a separate lease that ends in a one dollar buyout. Their hours are Monday through Friday eight to five. And the site doesn't list an emergency phone number. So we recommend you ask what happens when a machine quits on a Saturday, because they didn't make it clear.

Van Nuys company Aqualume, which supplies offices with bottleless water coolers, stocks three of its seven machines with ice. They offered the most enticing terms of any we found in Los Angeles. One of their machines was a dedicated ice dispenser. The contract lasts for thirty six months, and is at a fixed monthly rate of eighty dollars per month. However, the contract can be cancelled at any time without a penalty. They offer installation, maintenance and repairs, and around the clock support. Their rental page says quarterly filter changes are included, while the product pages mention extra fees for replacement filters. And the machines top out at 380 pounds a day, which is more of an office number than a restaurant number. So we advise you to get the filter answer in writing before you sign.

Easy Ice specializes in nationwide subscription services for ice machines. Their Los Angeles facility is located in Paramount, California. They install the machine for a monthly fee starting at $170, and that fee covers installation, preventive maintenance, cleanings, service calls and repairs. They also publish the full subscription terms and what is expected of you without forcing you to speak to a sales rep, which is unusual on a rental page. One thing to note. While they do deliver bagged ice when your machine is being repaired, they will not swap in a replacement machine at your location. And we could not find how long you would be waiting, since their FAQ only says it depends on your market. So we suggest you read the breakdown benefit closely before signing up.

Dependable Break Room Solutions is an Upland breakroom supplier that has vending, micro markets, office coffee and bottled water, and rents ice machines on the same routes and stops as the rest of the services (the ice line is real). They have discrete Hoshizaki branded ice machines with published production amounts such as a 161 pound capacity undercounter model and 782 pound capacity dispenser. They offer installation, servicing and repair which are handled by an in-house team, and one delivery and invoice can cover the coffee, the water and the ice via the Hoshizaki system and everything else the breakroom requires. Nowhere is there a rate or a contract length or even a response commitment. We would highly suggest you ask for a monthly rate and a term in the same call.
